Now that I’ve got this DSLR camera and a few hundred really crappy pictures, what’s a good photo editing program?
I tried the software that came with the camera, and I’m not all that happy with it. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it’s just too basic.
I think I need noise reduction. No, I know I need it….
I’d like to be able to combine shots taken where there is extreme exposure setting differences (like a really bright sunset over a dark mountain peak). I don’t know if there is anything that will do that, but I was thinking if I could take two pictures of the same thing, with two different exposures, I could cut and paste?? I dunno, maybe I’m just dreaming, but that would be cool.
I’m still using JPEG, but think after I figure this thing out, I’ll use Raw + JPEG, so it would be cool if I didn’t have to use two separate programs to convert and process.
That six hundred dollar Photo Shop is too expensive for me.
I’ve looked at about a dozen different programs, and really don’t which one to get. I figured I’d ask you guys before I go downloading a bunch of trial versions.
I'd like to stitch panoramas too.
